The Brewers are starting Gerardo Parra in left field for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Parra will likely be the starter in left field for a while with Khris Davis going on the disabled list due to a torn meniscus. At first base, Jason Rogers will start as Adam Lind deals with an ailing back.

The Brewers optioned outfielder Shane Peterson and infielder Luis Sardinas to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Thursday. Peterson hit .296 (8 for 27) with one home run and four RBI in 17 spring games, while Sardinas hit .294 (10 for 34) in 17 spring games.

Brewers infielder Luis Sardinasposted four hits and two RBI Sunday against his former team the Rangers. Sardinas, who is battling for a spot on the Opening Day roster, was struggling at the plate coming into the day, going just 3 for 25 the rest of spring.

"[Sardinas is] probably tired playing all nine innings," manager Ron Roenicke said. "But that was good for him. Everybody did a nice job swinging the bats today."
